Sleep and Afib
As predicted my occasional episodes of A Fib which began in 2007 has recently become more of a problem. They are now presenting differently tho. My resting heart beat is about 60bpm and whilst in Afib they are now usually 60 to 75, only rising further when I am moving about. My question is can anyone

AF - Sudden Increase To Every Night
I occasionally get a very slight twinge or spasm in my heart during some mild exertion - a gentle bike ride or lifting the hoover for example. This often kicks off an AF bout the following night. I had the twinge thing on a ride a couple of weeks ago which caused an 11 hour bout of AF, and since then

Hi again everyone. ✋ My name is Sam and I joined here a few months ago after being told that I'll be having an ICD unit fitted. Well that unit was fitted yesterday (29th of September, the day before my 63rd birthday) and all went well and I came home on the same day. Can I please ask a question. I

Blood pressure warning
More fun and frolics. Before I went to pamper myself in Montenegro (swimming in the sea, lounging on the Cabana) I checked my blood pressure which I do regularly and noticed a little warning sign like a heart next to my diastolic. The literature said to seek advice so I asked him in doors and he casually

Smart watch blood pressure function
I love the ECG function on my Galaxy watch and the blood pressure until I noticed the instruction not to use if on meds etc. I don't understand why it's safe for Afib but not for BP. Can anyone explain please?

afib related to drop in blood pressure
last week I had an extreme drop in blood pressure 87/50 and was unable to stand up or even sit up. Was taken to the hospital. Diagnosed with pneumonia and told that infection can sometimes cause drop in blood pressure particularly because of my a fib. It seems that because the lungs are so closely

Actual appointment face to face with an actual human!
After being sent to A&E last November by GP, diagnosed with AF and discharged with meds, then an echocardiogram beginning of March, I have an actual appointment booked with an arrythmia nurse end of July! Still a little bit in shock that I'll get to talk to someone! Came about because my GP wanted to

Now need a stent or bypass
I posted on here a bit ago that I have been tired and out of breath ever since my 5th ablation last August. My cardiologist put it down to the Bisoporol I was taking but 3 months ago after seeing him and complaining he sent me for a ultrasound scan. All was OK then I wrote to him saying I am not

Permanent AF, decision to do nothing
I’m have AF constantly since months, maybe years. My heart rate is normally in range (70/80) and I don’t have any symptoms. I conducted an active and fulfilling life. I went to the cardiologist for the first visit and he left me the 2 options: 1. Do nothing and go on with your normal life 2. Try cardioversion

Taking Flecainide with Bisoprolol
When I was first diagnosed with AF a few years ago I was told to use the "pill in the pocket" approach to terminate an episode by using bisoprolol and flecainide - the flecainide 20 minutes after the bisoprolol. Now, for the last year I've been on bisoprolol 1.25mg daily and just take the occasional

Ativan for anxiety
Since being diagnosed I have had near panic experiences and great waves of anxiety. Some of the meds are stressful on the body and I found that
Ativan 0.5 MG
worked for me when needed. I heard that it is very addictive. I wonder
how many of you manage your anxiety
? Thank you so much,

Obesity and ablation
Anyone had ablation who is on the large side. Maxed out on digoxin and bisoprolol apixaban & entresto and ef is 27% reading is suboptimal due at afib. Been in afib 5years now never tried cardioversion just left it as it was with meds. Fed up is an understatement only thing about leaving it is covid come

Alternative to Anticoagulation?
This is very new and exciting. Just a case history for now, but apparently they have done a Left Atrial Appendage (LAA)Closure during an RF catheter ablation procedure, guided by 3D printing technology! As many of you know, there now exist several devices like Watchman and Amulet that are inserted

19 days post cyroablation
Working in the yard today felt a slight shortness of breath, came in and pulled out the kardia pad... Surprise, surprise..."possible atrial fibrillation"...I am familiar with the blanking period and hopefully this is an anomaly and NSR returns. Just thought I would share my disappointment and ask

Paroxysmal Afib affecting sleep
Just when I was beginning to relax the good old afib hit me like a hammer at 5am Monday morning waking me with a jolt. I had a very stressful weekend with relationships out of control with my family so I suppose I half expected it. Unfortunately, I am very symptomatic and my episodes go on for around

Ablation for ventricular tachycardia
When I've posted here before over the last 8 years it has been about my own fairly benign AF, which needed a second cardioversion a few months ago. This time, I'd welcome your advice for my wife, who has patiently put up with my moans and groans, and herself went into ventricular tachycardia a couple
